Photo images cut in half when sent in MacMail messages: why? -- how to correct?

MacBook Air (mid 2013) Mojave 10.14.6 with 8.62 GB available of 121 GB; using MacMail 12.4


Just since yesterday, when i add an image stored in Photos version 4.0, that image is cut in half in both

the inbox (sending myself a copy) and the sent mailbox.


I also included copied and pasted quotes from two websites to these messages.


How to have this cutting in half of images from Photos not be cut in half when copy and pasted

into Mac Mail messaging?


What might be causing this new development?


Thank you for your time and consideration.

Independent of your mail issue(?)— your Mac SSD need at least 20% free space to function trouble free—all storage devices need room to move to juggle the bits & bytes 😉


You have a limited 7% and are at risk of overwriting/losing data.


Resolve this issue first, then try your mail/attachment issue and test.

Provide a quick breakdown by folder in descending order of used GB , from the Terminal.app , copy & paste:

 sudo du -gs /Users/YourUserNameHere/* | sort -k 1nr


(please note: your psswd will not echo, type it in anyway, to proceed Enter/Return key) Let it run it's course.

Try something likeOmniDiskSweeper for a GUI to get a good look at itemized file size and location:

Others for example—

Disk Inventory X: http://www.derlien.com/ (takes forever to load up.)

Grand Perspective: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/


Or alternatively from the Terminal.app, more detail copy and paste the command line:


File size, and finding missing GB— list the items in the home folder with the sizes, including invisible items.

sudo du -h -d 1 ~/


File size, and finding missing GB —will list the items in root with the sizes, including invisible items.

sudo du -h -d 1 /
